🚨 THEY BUILT A HOUSING ROADBLOCK 🚨

Texas passed SB 840 to help create MORE HOMES and bring down housing costs for working families. πŸ πŸ’΅πŸ€ 

But in parts of North Texas, developers say cities are piling on expensive requirements that make new housing harder to build.

Some communities reportedly require things like Olympic-sized pools, stricter design standards, and costly infrastructure upgrades before projects can move forward. 😳

Meanwhile, Dallas and Plano are moving ahead and seeing new housing opportunities.

Texans are asking a simple question:

Why are we making it HARDER to build homes when families are already struggling with affordability?

βœ… MORE HOUSING
βœ… LOWER COSTS
βœ… TEXAS FAMILIES FIRST

State lawmakers are already talking about strengthening SB 840 next session.

Texas built. San Francisco stalled. πŸ—οΈπŸ‘πŸ”₯

The housing crisis isn’t a mystery. Austin built more homes, and prices started falling. San Francisco buried builders in red tape, and regular families got priced out. πŸ‘πŸ€ πŸ“‰

That’s the difference: Texas says BUILD. California says WAIT.

Austin broke ground on 140 homes per 1,000 households over the last decade. San Francisco? Just 22. And while Austin still isn’t cheap, it proves the point: when you build more homes, working families get more choices.

Stop protecting paperwork. Start protecting PEOPLE. πŸ”¨πŸ˜οΈ
